?2020 Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-53)

January 7-10, 2020, Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii, USA

Mini-track: Digital and Social Media in Enterprise

Track: Digital and Social Media



Scope

Digital and social media (DSM) have transformed the workplace in organizations. Two decades ago, the use of electronic communication technologies--such as emails, messaging, and teleconference systems--promoted effective electronic communications in organizations. Electronic communication changed organizational forms, enabled electronic document management, and preserved organizational memory. Currently, the growth of digital and social media technologies are impacting organizations in new ways. Social media includes blogs, wikis, social networking sites, and microblogging that provide new affordances to its users.  While some prior studies have provided evidence to show the positive impacts of enterprise social media on employees, work processes and performance, other studies have uncovered negative effects of DSM use on employee productivity and behaviors.  In order for an organization to amplify the returns or benefits and to mitigate the drawbacks of their DSM use, it is imperative for both researchers and practitioners to deepen their understanding of the implications of DSM use for organizational purposes.

This minitrack focuses on the internal and external use of digital and social media by organizations to facilitate work processes (e.g., communication, collaboration, innovation and socialization) inclusive of business, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. Hence, research of this minitrack lies at the intersectionality of multiple disciplines, namely Science & Technology, Organization Science, Marketing, and Behavioral Science.
